Description
WO 02/09815 PCT/EP01/08363 1 New Pharmaceutical Composition The present invention relates to pharmaceutical combinations, compositions and methods for treating obesity. More particularly, the invention relates to a combination or composition comprising a lipase inhibitor, preferably a compound of formula I (orlistat),
H
HCONH 'O (I) 0 0O H H a pharmaceutically acceptable bile acid sequestrant and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s), e.g. a diluent or carrier.
Bile acids are synthesized in the liver and enter the bile as glycine and taurine conjugates. They are released in salt form in bile during digestion and act as detergents to solubilize and consequently aid in digestion of dietary fats. Following digestion, bile acid salts are mostly reabsorbed in the ileum, complexed with proteins, and returned to the liver through the hepatic portal vein. The small amount of bile acid salts which are not reabsorbed by active transport are excreted via the distal ileum and large intestine as a portion of fecal material. Reducing reabsorption of bile acids within the intestinal tract can lower levels of bile acid circulating in the enterohepatic system thereby potentially reducing emulsification in the upper intestinal tract of dietary fat and reducing intestinal absorption of fat soluble drugs. One method of reducing the amount of bile acids that are reabsorbed, is oral administration of compounds that sequester the bile acids within the intestinal tract and cannot themselves be absorbed.
Orlistat (XENICALo, tetrahydrolipstatin) is a potent inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases, i.e. lipases which are responsible for breaking down ingested fat (gastric lipase, carboxylester lipase, pancreatic lipase). As a consequence of this, unabsorbed fat is excreted in the faeces. Pancreatic lipase is the key enzyme for the hydrolysis of dietary triglycerides. Triglycerides, which have escaped hydrolysis are not absorbed in the intestine. In pharmacological studies with humans potent inhibition of fat absorption and medically relevant reduction of body weight was demonstrated. However, in a subgroup of the patients unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects such as oily spotting, fatty/oily C* stools, fecal urgency, increased defecation and fecal incontinence are observed.
CThe present invention provides pharmaceutical combinations and compositions 00 Swhich are able to minimize or suppress the above mentioned side effects caused by i 0 inhibitors of digestive lipases. These compositions or combinations comprise a lipase Sinhibitor, preferably orlistat, a pharmaceutically acceptable bile acid sequestrant, optionally in conjunction with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, e.g. a diluent or carrier. The invention comprises also a method of treatment of obesity and associated comorbidities and other diseases treatable by lipase inhibitors which comprises administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a lipase inhibitor, preferably orlistat, and a therapeutically effective amount of a bile acid sequestrant.

Unless otherwise indicated the following definitions are set forth to illustrate and define the meaning and scope of the various terms used to describe the invention herein.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" as used herein means that the corresponding compounds are acceptable from a toxicity viewpoint.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" as used herein means salts oflipase inhibitors or bile acid sequestrants with inorganic or organic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid, formic acid, maleic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, methanesulphonic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid and the like, which are non-toxic to living organisms. In the case of bile acid sequestrants having quaternary ammonium groups pharmaceutically acceptable salts mean correspondingly chlorides, bromides, sulphates, phosphates, citrates, formiates, maleates, acetates, succinates, tartrates, methanesulphonates, p-toluenesulphonates and the like.
The term "lipase inhibitor" refers to compounds which are capable of inhibiting the action oflipases, for example gastric and pancreatic lipases. For example orlistat and lipstatin as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,598,089 are potent inhibitor oflipases. Lipstatin is a natural product of microbial origin, and orlistat is the result of a hydrogenation of lipstatin. Other lipase inhibitors include a class of compound commonly referred to as panclicins. Panclicins are analogues of orlistat (Mutoh et al, 1994). The term "lipase inhibitor" refers also to polymer bound lipase inhibitors for example described in International Patent Application W099/34786 (Geltex Pharmaceuticals Inc.). These polymers are characterized in that they have been substituted with one or more groups that inhibit lipases. The term "lipase inhibitor" also comprises pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these compounds. The term "lipase inhibitor" also refers to 2-oxy-4H-3,1benzoxazin-4-ones which have been described in International Patent Application WO00/40569 (Alizyme Therapeutics Ltd.), e.g. 2-decyloxy-6-methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin- 4-one, 6-methyl-2-tetradecyloxy-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one, and 2-hexadecyloxy-6methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one. Most preferably, the term "lipase inhibitor" refers to orlistat.
Orlistat is a known compound useful for the control or prevention of obesity and hyperlipidemia. See, U.S. Patent No. 4,598,089, issued July 1, 1986, which also discloses WO 02/09815 PCT/EP01/08363 processes for making orlistat and U.S. Patent No. 6,004,996, which discloses appropriate pharmaceutical compositions. Further suitable pharmaceutical compositions are described for example in International Patent Applications WO 00/09122 and WO 00/09123.
Additional processes for the preparation of orlistat are disclosed in European Patent Applications Publication Nos. 185,359, 189,577, 443,449, and 524,495.
Orlistat is preferably orally administered from 60 to 720 mg per day in divided doses two to three times per day. Preferred is wherein from 180 to 360 mg, most preferably 360 mg per day of a lipase inhibitor is administered to a subject, preferably in divided doses two or, particularly, three times per day. The subject is preferably an obese or overweight human, i.e. a human with a body mass index of 25 or greater. Generally, it is preferred that the lipase inhibitor be administered within about one or two hours of ingestion of a meal containing fat. Generally, for administering a lipase inhibitor as defined above it is preferred that treatment be administered to a human who has a strong family history of obesity and has obtained a body mass index of 25 or greater.
Orlistat can be administered to humans in conventional oral compositions, such as tablets, coated tablets, hard and soft gelatin capsules, emulsions or suspensions. Examples of carriers which can be used for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatin capsules are lactose, other sugars and sugar alcohols like sorbitol, mannitol, maltodextrin, or other fillers; surfactants like sodium lauryle sulfate, Brij 96, or Tween 80; disintegrants like sodium starch glycolate, maize starch or derivatives thereof; polymers like povidone, crospovidone; talc; stearic acid or its salts and the like. Suitable carriers for soft gelatin capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi-solid and liquid polyols and the like. Moreover, the pharmaceutical preparations can contain preserving agents, solubilizers, stabilizing agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, sweetening agents, coloring agents, flavoring agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, coating agents and antioxidants. They can also contain still other therapeutically valuable substances. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any methods known in the pharmaceutical art. Preferably, orlistat is administered according to the formulation shown in the Examples and in U.S. Patent No.
6,004,996, respectively.
The term "bile acid sequestrant" refers to compound classes which are able to bind bile acids or bile acid salts by various principles, e.g. anion exchanging polymers containing amino groups, quaternary ammonium groups, etc. (amine containing WO 02/09815 PCT/EP01/08363 polymers). In more detail the term refers to oligomers or polymers of different architecture (graft-, block-, multiblock-, homo-, copolymers), dendrimers, or hyperbranched structures containing either quaternary ammonium groups, substituted or unsubstituted pyridinium groups, substituted or unsubstituted primary, secondary, or tertiary alkyl- or arylamine groups, or any statistical or non-statistical combination thereof, which are capable of forming complexes with physiologically active bile acids and/or bile salts through non-covalent Van der Waals, hydrophobic and/or ionic interactions. For example, these structures can include, poly(amino acids) such as poly(lysine), poly(lactic acid-co-lysine) (PLAL), poly(vinyl amine), poly(allyl amine), poly(N-alkylvinyl amine), poly(N,N-dialkyl amine), poly(N-alkylallyl amine), poly(ethylene imine) and other mono- or disubstituted poly(amine)s. Further polymers include poly(vinyl pyridinyl), poly(amide enamines), PAMAM dendrimers, polymers containing azo-groups, poly(dialkyl siloxane)s, poly(phosphazene)s, poly(acrylate)s, poly(methacrylate)s, poly(styrene), poly(amides), poly(ethers), poly(esters). Suitable sidechains can include cationic or neutral groups, substituted and unsubstituted alkyl or aryl groups, saturated or unsaturated alkyl groups, amino acids or functional groups such as amine or ammonium moieties, for example (Uhrich et. al., Chem. Rev. 1999, 99, 3181- 3198). In addition, naturally occurring and subsequently synthetically modified polymers such as poly(amino saccharide)s (chitosan) or cellulose derivatives (e.g.
diethylaminoethylcellulose, guanidinoethylcellulose) are also of particular interest. A further important class of bile acid sequestrants are compounds capable of forming hostguest inclusion complexes, such as p and y-cyclodextrines.
Bile acid sequestrants and methods for their preparation have been described for example in International Patent Applications W095/34585 (Geltex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; relating to polyamine salt hydrophobic sequestrants), W094/27620 (Geltex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; relating to the preparation of polymeric sequestrants for bile acids), and W094/04596 (DuPont; relating to crosslinked polymeric ammonium salts).
For example, amine containing polymers, as defined herein, may comprise the compounds described in International Patent Application W094/27620. The polymers are characterized by a repeat unit having the formula WO 02/09815 PCT/EP01/08363 6

In preferred embodiments, the polymer is crosslinked by means of a multifunctional crosslinking co-monomer, the co-monomer being present in an amount from about 0.5-25% (more preferably about (or about by weight, based upon total monomer weight. The compositions are non-toxic and stable when ingested in therapeutically effective amounts. The preparation of these compounds is described in International Patent Application W094/27620 (Geltex Pharmaceuticals Inc.).
The term "bile acid sequestrants" also refer to compounds obtainable by molecular imprinting. Molecular imprinting is based on template polymerization in which polymers are prepared in the presence of a template molecule to be imprinted. Resulting polymers record the shapes and chemical properties of the templates in their matrixes and exhibit specific binding characteristics to the template molecule. The most significant advantage of this technique is to provide a simple procedure for the preparation of synthetic polymers capable of molecular recognition: complementary sites for the target molecules which are expected to be specific binding sites can be constructed with the aid of molecular selfassembling and no complicated synthesis is necessary. Molecular imprinted polymers have been described and the effectiveness of molecular imprinted polymers have been demonstrated (Ansell et al. Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. (1996), 89-94). Imprinted WO 02/09815 PCT/EP01/08363 7 polymers have been used for the chromatographic separation of amino acids, sugars, drugs and nucleotides. Drugs have been measured using imprinted polymers as antibody substitutes in radioligand binding assays (Sheaet al. Trends Polym. Sci. (1994), 166- 73; Takeuchi et al. Chromatography (1997), 18(2), 102-103; Nicholls, J. Molecular Recognition, (1988) 11 79-82). The term "bile acid sequestrants" also comprises pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these compounds.
More preferably the invention refers to compositions or combinations wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable bile acid sequestrant is selected from the group consisting of cholestyramine, colestipol, colesevelam, colestimide, sevelamer, cellulose and dextran to derivatives, starch and starch derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Cholestyramine (Quantalan®, Bristol-Myers Squibb) is a known compound and described for example in U.S. Patent No. 4,902,501 and the references cited therein. It is a strong cationic resin containing quaternary ammonium functional groups bonded to a polymeric styrene-divinylbenzene structure: a b cN cl It was introduced in the therapy in 1959 and is prevailingly used in the management of the hypercholesterolemic states. The therapeutical activity of colestyramine is correlated to the capability of that resin of sequestering the biliary acids of the intestine, increasing up to 7-8 times the faecal elimination thereof. The use of cholestyramine resin as adjunctive therapy to diet in the management of patients with elevated cholesterol levels is noted in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 15th Ed. Mack Publishing Co. (1975) pp 733-734.
Methods for the preparation of cholestyramine and appropriate compositions are known in the art DE-A-38 08 191, EP-A-347 014, US 5,695,749, US 4,172,120 and EP-A-492 235).
Colestipol (Cholestabyl", Pharmacia Upjohn) is a known compound and described for example in US Patents Nos. 3,692,895, 3,803,237, and 5,807,582 and the references cited therein. It is a basic anion exchange resin described as a high molecular WO 02/09815 PCT/EP01/08363 8 weight copolymer of diethylenetriamine and 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane (epichlorohydrin), with approximately one out of 5 amine nitrogens protonated, i.e. it is a copolymer of diethylenetriamine and epichlorohydrin with about 1 out of 5 amine nitrogens protonated: Cl Polymer
H
It is a light yellow resin which is hygroscopic and swells when placed in water or aqueous fluids. See Merck Index (Tenth Edition) #2440, page 2438. Colestipol hydrochloride is commercially available in granule form as Colestidg Granules. See Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) 42nd Ed., p. 2119 (1988). Colestid@ Granules are marketed as a to hyperlipidemia agent for oral use. Colestipol binds bile acids in the intestine forming a complex that is excreted in the faeces. This nonsystemic action results in a partial removal of the bile acids from the enterohepatic circulation, preventing their reabsorption.
Colesevelam and colesevelam hydrochloride (Cholestagel® or WelCholo) are cholesterol-lowering agents (Polym. Prepr. 2000, 41, 735-736). Colesevelam is a polyamine-copolymer of the three amines mentioned below, which are cross-linked with epichlorhydrine. Other names are 1-Hexanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-6-(2propenylamino)-, chloride, polymer with (chloromethyl)oxirane, 2-propen-1-amine and N-2-propenyl-1-decanamine, hydrochloride (9CI); or 1-Decanamine, N-2-propenyl-, polymer with (chloromethyl)oxirane, 2-propen-1-amine and N,N,N-trimethyl-6-(2propenylamino)-1 -hexanaminium chloride, hydrochloride (9CI); 2-Propen- 1-amine, polymer with (chloromethyl)oxirane, N-2-propenyl-1 -decanamine and N,N,N-trimethyl- 6-(2-propenylamino)-1-hexanaminium chloride, hydrochloride (9CI); Oxirane, (chloromethyl)-, polymer with 2-propen-1-amine, N-2-propenyl-1-decanamine and N,N,N-trimethyl-6-(2-propenylamino)- 1-hexanaminium chloride, hydrochloride (9CI); Cholestagel; Colesevelam hydrochloride; GT 31-104; or GT 31-104HB (see also Holmes- Farley, S. et al.; Polym.

The binding of bile acids has been described e.g. in Mitsuka et al. Japanese Pharmacology Therapeutics, 24 (Suppl. 103, 1996, Mitsuka et al. Japanese Pharmacology Therapeutics, 24 (Suppl. 111, 1996 and Mitsuka et al. Japanese Pharmacology Therapeutics, 24 (Suppl. 127, 1996.
Various cellulose and dextran anion exchangers bind bile acids in vitro under conditions of pH and ionic strength resembling those in the lumen of the small intestine (Parkinson, Thomas J. Lipid Res. (1967), 24-9; Nichifor et la. Pharma Sci.
(1994), 447-52). Of these substances, DEAE-cellulose, guanidinoethylcellulose, and DEAE-Sephadex reduce hypercholesterolemia when added to the diet of cholesterol-fed cockerels. In addition, DEAE-Sephadex reduced serum sterols in normocholesterolemic cockerels and dogs, lowered serum phospholipids and triglycerides in cholesterol-fed hypercholesterolemic cockerels and in normocholesterolemic dogs, and increased fecal excretion of bile acids in hypercholesterolemic cockerels. These insoluble cationic polymers evidently exert their hypocholesterolemic effects by interrupting the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. DEAE-celulloses are compounds wherein diethylaminoethylgroups are covalently bound to the cellulose hydroxylic groups. DEAE-celluloses are WO 02/09815 PCT/EP01/08363 11 known substances and commercially available Sigma-Aldrich).
Guanidinoethylcelluloses are compounds wherein guanidinoethyl-groups are covalently bound to the cellulose hydroxylic groups. Guanidinoethylcelluloses are known substances and commercially availalbe. DEAE-Sephadex is a cross-linked dextran derivative wherein diethylaminoethyl-groups are covalently bound to dextran. DEAE-Sephadex compositions are commercially availalbe Pharmacia Fince Chemicals). DEAE-cellulose, guanidinoethylcellulose and DEAE-Sephadex are especially useful as bile sequestrant agent, preferably DEAE-cellulose.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Study A Xenical was ingested t.i.d. by two middle aged healthy male volunteers on a normal average mixed diet. Both individuals frequently experienced one or more of the above mentioned unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects. After 4 weeks on Xenical they started to ingest in addition to Xenical b.i.d. cholestyramine containing sachets (4 g/meal) which were emptied into about 100 ml water, swirled and drunk during the meals. The side effects were immediately reduced in frequency and completely disappeared. After 2-4 weeks of combined intake together with Xenical, cholestyramine was discontinued. When treatment with Xenical alone was carried on the gastrointestinal adverse events reappeared.
Example 2: Study B The anti-GI side effect potential of bile salt sequestrants was extended further in short-term studies in human volunteers. To precipitate the tendency for side effects in this model three meals (lunch, dinner, breakfast) are ingested together with Xenical and 120 mg orlistat in 10g butter, each. The model is based on the idea that GI side effects following orlistat ingestion are precipitated by the formation of free oil. Free oil is oil, which will coalesce in the dietary fat emulsion passing down the GI tract and separate from the stool matrix. In this model the amount of oil which is separated from the stool matrix is determined after the production of stools.
We demonstrated in human volunteers that after co-administration of cholestyramine and colestipol, respectively, the formation of free oil was dramatically reduced (cholestyramine: 44% of the respective control experiment without addition of cholestyramine) or nearly completely suppressed (colestipol: 6% of the respective control experiment without addition of colestipol). Total fat excretion remained unchanged.
